In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 35: The Legend of the Villain's Fastest Defeat!
Li Zhengxing's enthusiastic attitude was something Su Yuan had not expected.

He couldn't help but wonder, what is this villainous young master up to? Is there any villain like you?

Shouldn't the villains reflect on their actions?
Seemingly noticing Su Yuan's strange expression, Li Zhengxing finally released Su Yuan's hand, which he had been holding tightly, and said with a relaxed expression:

“I was worried that Chen Nuoyi would actually follow Grandpa Chen’s arrangement and apply to the Xinghe Dao Sect. Now that she has a boyfriend, I’m completely relieved.”

"Cough cough."

Su Yuan offered a reminder:
"The class monitor and I are just classmates and friends, don't misunderstand."

"Oh, really? Then I was being presumptuous."

Li Zhengxing suddenly realized, but after carefully looking at the two people standing very close together, he still said:
"Even if there's really nothing between you two, I'm afraid Old Master Chen will misunderstand."

Su Yuan: "You're right about that."

Chen Nuoyi frowned slightly, looking at Li Zhengxing, who had acted strangely from the moment he appeared, and asked in a cold voice:

"May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Li here?"

Although Chen Nuoyi didn't want to deal with this young master of the Li family, she keenly sensed that she seemed to be disliked by him.

It's really annoying; even customer service on the phone has its temper!
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengxing's smile faded, his expression turned serious, and he solemnly said:

"Miss Chen, I suspect you are quite dissatisfied with the intentions behind the marriage alliance between the Chen and Li families, aren't you?"

Chen Nuoyi nodded.

Li Zhengxing sighed:
“I learned about this news a few days earlier than you, and I did some investigation. I found that you were getting close to a boy from an ordinary background, so I guessed that something like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai would happen.”

"Of course, the relationship between the two of you isn't quite what I imagine, but it's close."

“You think I’m like Ma Wencai in the story, but actually… I also have my own Liang Zhu story, it’s just that I’m not recognized by my family either.”

"So in my opinion, you are the real Ma Wencai."

Hearing this, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi finally understood.

"So you secretly fell in love with a girl from an ordinary family behind your family's back?"

Su Yuan asked curiously.

The script suddenly took on a domineering CEO vibe.

Li Zhengxing immediately retorted, "She's different from other girls; you don't understand her!"

Su Yuan: "..."

Goodness, the flavor is even stronger now!

"In short, the purpose of my trip is to state my position: I believe we can cooperate to thwart the family's marriage plan."

Li Zhengxing said solemnly.

“Okay!” Chen Nuoyi nodded without hesitation. “Neither Su Yuan nor I will apply to the Star River Dao Sect, so you can rest assured about that.”

"I am relieved to hear your words."

Li Zhengxing breathed a sigh of relief, then reminded him:
"However, that's not enough. You two still need to improve your strength as much as possible and gain more say after the college entrance examination, so as not to be influenced by the powerful Chen and Li families."

"If you two can surpass me in the college entrance examination, that would be the best."

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Chen Nuoyi's beautiful eyes:
"It's natural."

Su Yuan didn't say anything, but he still muttered something to himself.

According to the villainous young master script that Young Master Li led, I, with my cheat-like abilities, should be able to surpass him at the climax of the plot.

Seeing the two men's confident expressions, Young Master Li raised an eyebrow slightly, crossed his arms, and laughed:

"Since you two are so confident, let me state my specific achievements so that you can formulate a more precise plan to surpass me."

He said calmly:
“I attend Yaoxing High School, which is ranked number one in Taihua City.”

"In last month's monthly exam, I scored 150 in general knowledge, 150 in cultivation, 150 in physical education, 150 in martial arts, 75 in spiritual writing, and 72 in Dao heart, for a total score of 747." "Ranking... first in the grade at Yaoxing High School."

"Given that the high school I attend is the strongest high school in Taihua City, and I am also the number one in the city, making me the strongest high school student in Taihua City in reality."

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Big shot, no, I mean a super big shot!
The two, who had been so confident that they would defeat the villainous young master, were now huddled together, trembling with fear.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless, and with an enormous appetite.

Li Zhengxing smiled smugly and said:

"Don't feel pressured, you two. I got full marks in five out of six subjects, just because I'm quite versatile."

"Actually, there are quite a few geniuses who have achieved more than me in a certain subject, but the highest score is only 150."

"Of course, although I haven't reached the pinnacle of any particular path, I still have spiritual roots, a lineage of magic, and a special physique."

"Even if I am not as good as those once-in-a-century geniuses in a certain subject, I will not be too far behind. If it is a test of comprehensive ability, I am still well-deserved to be the first in the city."

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Reading it as self-deprecation, but writing it as pretentious, huh?
Alright, alright, you're big enough now, you should go back!

Su Yuan quickly tried to shoo him away. Being around someone who was both talented and hardworking made him, with his own cheat-like abilities, feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Your name is Su Yuan, right? From now on, we're fellow cultivators on the same path. If you encounter any problems, don't try to handle them alone. Just call me."

After leaving his contact information with Su Yuan, Li Zhengxing turned to leave.

Watching the other person's back, Su Yuan's heart stirred again.

Wait a minute! Li Zhengxing is so powerful, how am I supposed to defeat this tragic genius? Doesn't that mean the system task won't be completed for months, or even years?

Don’t do that kind of thing!
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

Just as Li Zhengxing was about to board the flying boat and leave, Su Yuan quickly called out to him.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Li Zhengxing turned around curiously.

Su Yuan remained silent, holding back for a full half minute before raising his hand:

How about we play rock-paper-scissors?

Li Zhengxing: "...Okay?"

Ten seconds later, Li Zhengxing's scissors collided with Su Yuan's fist.

"I lost."

Li Zhengxing shrugged, completely baffled by Su Yuan's sudden request.

"Alright, alright, it's all settled then. Fellow Daoist Li, please take care and don't see me off."

After seeing off the bewildered Li Zhengxing, Su Yuan turned to look at the system panel in front of him.

[You completed the task in just ten minutes? Hagi, you bastard! No wonder you're a future giant of the demonic path, you have no grudges at all!]

System, that's enough! You're a system, not a source of stale jokes, okay?

Su Yuan was speechless.

[Mission Progress: Defeat the Righteous Prodigy (1/1)]

[Mission: Tragic Prodigy (Completed)]

[Task Reward: Change Fate*1 (Already Issued)]

[Change Fate: After use, it allows you to activate an unlimited magical skill, "Fate Pointing," and alter the displayed text of the target's fate for that day to a certain extent.]

Upon seeing the description of the mission reward, Su Yuan's eyes widened instantly!
